With its intricate weave of black cherry cola, raspberry, and cedar, the 2024 Sangiovese confirms our hopes about the quality of our five-year-old Quartz Hill vineyard block of Sangiovese that is now dominating the blend. The aromatic fruit is enhanced by lovely floral notes of dried violet and rosemary. The first taste just adds to the allure, as an energy and poise are revealed that can be missing from a wine this open and generous. The bright, lively mouthfeel is complemented beautifully by a core of red and black fruit framed by hints of well-loved leather. The fine-grained tannins lend an elegant yet pleasingly assertive structure. While this wine will only grow more complex and nuanced as it ages, be sure to check it out every year or two to fully appreciate what sangiovese grown in our mountain vineyards has to offer.
